Today's hurdles, tomorrow's "goals"

So what does Bone do all day?

Perhaps this is a question you've found yourself asking before. Perhaps it is even a question I have found myself asking before, when several hours seemed to have disappeared with not a trace of anything tangible to show for them.Today, we begin to answer that question. For today, Google unveiled it's latest interactive doodle: the hurdles. Go ahead, click over and play for an hour or so. This post will still be right here when you get back. It's not like I'm gonna blog again tomorrow or anything.

So I played Google hurdles today. And -- and this is an important "and," for without it this post would be over now -- I tweeted about it. (Don't worry, I'm still watching the Olympics, but occasionally I need a break. I mean, there's only so many hours of Greco-Roman Wrestling a man can watch.)

I believe my day can most accurately and succinctly be summed up in these 140-characters-or-less bits of social media goodness. Therefore, with apologies to J. Adamthwaite and anyone else who follows me on the Twitter and may have already had the misfortune of reading these once, I present today's tweets:

Tomorrow on the Keyboard Olympics: Modern Pentathlon. YESSSSS!!! I'd better do some finger limbering exercises tonight.
11.0! OK, I think I'm done. Thanks to all of you who did not unfollow me. Today, and always./end Twitter log

And that's what Bone does all day. At least for today. And no, I'm not gonna spend all day tomorrow again playing the hurdles. Don't be silly. Give me a little credit, would you?

Gautami - I'd be up for a new nickname. Bone has served me well for many years. Speaking of muscles, I think I may have strained an interossei yesterday.

J Adamthwaite - Well, it's hard to be an Olympian in every sport, so maybe Keyboard Basketball is yours :) By the way, it took me 4 or 5 times before I realized the guy was scooting back every few shots!

Renee - No doubt. What would be great is if we could mic my parents during a race!

TC - Nope. No blog entry is planned for basketball. My high is 39 so far though, just FYI.

MarkD - I am now following you. On Twitter, that is. Not in real life. That might be creepy.

Sherri - Drat! I did skip napping practice yesterday. How did you know? I promise to make up for it today. Thank you for holding me accountable.

I figured you would :) By the way, I read the article you linked to. I definitely have a lot of the characteristics of an HSP.

You played the "ride like the wind" song through your head while I was riding the wind this afternoon on a lake only to rush back for a trivia night at a local pub... and I didn't treat about any of it except here! :)
